Close to Ninety Flights Linked to Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airfields

An investigation has found that close to 90 aircraft journeys associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly touched down at and left British airfields, with some allegedly transporting British women who assert they were abused by the found guilty child sex offender.

Flight Logs Reveal Trail of Travel

The travel manifests were part of thousands of court documents and papers released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the last year. The review found 87 flights linked to Epstein – including many that were not previously known – arriving or departing from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.

Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Travel

Unnamed women were documented among the passengers flying to and from the UK. Crucially, 15 of these British airport journeys happened subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a child.

“This is ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his activities in the country,” stated American attorneys acting for hundreds of Epstein survivors.

UK Survivors and Court Cases

Testimony from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. However, that victim has not received any contact by British law enforcement, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.

In a response, the London's Metropolitan Police said they had “not received any additional information that would support reopening the investigation.” They added, “Should new and relevant information be presented to us, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of material in the US, we will review it.”

Ongoing Document Release and Judicial Decisions

Proposed legislation to make public all files held by the American government in concerning Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. Hundreds of thousands of documents are anticipated to be released.

Additionally, a federal judge ruled last week that the department could disclose investigative materials from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
