Approximately Ninety Air Travels Associated to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airfields

A review has found that close to 90 flights associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly landed at and took off from British airfields, with some allegedly having onboard British women who claim they were exploited by the found guilty child sex offender.

Flight Logs Show Trail of Travel

The flight logs were part of thousands of court documents and papers made public by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the previous twelve months. The analysis uncovered 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – encompassing many that were hitherto undisclosed – landing or taking off from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.

Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Flights

Unnamed “females” were recorded among the travelers flying to and from the UK. Significantly, 15 of these flights involving the UK happened following Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a minor.

“This is ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his activities in the country,” stated US lawyers acting for hundreds of Epstein survivors.

British Victims and Court Cases

Evidence from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. Yet, that individual has never been contacted by police in the UK, according to her attorney based in Florida.

In a response, the the Met indicated they had “not received any further evidence that would support restarting the investigation.” They added, “If new and relevant information be presented to us, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of material in the US, we will evaluate it.”

Ongoing Document Release and Legal Rulings

Proposed legislation to release every document held by the US government in relation to Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to comply. Hundreds of thousands of files are expected to be released.

Additionally, a US judge decided last week that the DOJ could publicly release case files from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
