Close to 90 Air Travels Linked to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Came to or from British Airports

An investigation has found that approximately 90 flights connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein are said to have landed at and took off from British airports, with some allegedly carrying women from the UK who assert they were abused by the found guilty sex offender.

Aviation Records Reveal Trail of Movement

The travel manifests were among thousands of court documents and papers released by Epstein’s estate that have been disclosed over the past year. The analysis found 87 flights linked to Epstein – including many that were hitherto undisclosed – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.

Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Flights

Unidentified female passengers were documented among the passengers flying to and from the UK. Significantly, 15 of these UK flights took place after Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a minor.

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

UK Survivors and Court Cases

A statement from one of the UK-based survivors was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. Yet, that victim has not been approached by British law enforcement, according to her Florida-based lawyer.

In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police indicated they had “not received any new information that would support restarting the probe.” They commented, “Should fresh and pertinent information be presented to us, encompassing any resulting from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will assess it.”

Ongoing Document Release and Judicial Decisions

Proposed legislation to make public all files held by the US government in regarding Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice 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 evidence from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
