Approximately Ninety Air Travels Connected to Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airfields
Analysis has uncovered that close to 90 flights associated to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly arrived at and departed from British airfields, with some reportedly transporting women from the UK who allege they were exploited by the found guilty child sex offender.
Aviation Records Reveal Pattern of Travel
The flight logs were part of a trove of court documents and files released by Epstein’s estate that have been released over the past year. The analysis found 87 aircraft movements tied to Epstein – featuring many that were previously unknown – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Travel
Unnamed “females” were listed among the individuals entering and exiting the UK. Significantly, 15 of these British airport journeys happened following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a minor.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his dealings in the country,” said US lawyers representing hundreds of Epstein victims.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
Testimony from one of the British victims was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that victim has never been contacted by UK authorities, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police stated they had “not been provided with any further information that would support reopening the investigation.” They added, “If new and relevant evidence 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
A bill to release all files held by the American government in regarding Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to follow through. Hundreds of thousands of files are anticipated to be released.
In a related development, a US judge ruled last week that the DOJ could make public evidence from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
