Close to 90 Air Travels Connected to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from UK Airfields
Analysis has uncovered that close to 90 aircraft journeys connected to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have touched down at and left British airports, with some reportedly transporting British women who claim they were abused by the found guilty child sex offender.
Flight Logs Uncover Pattern of Travel
The flight logs were among a trove of legal papers and files released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been disclosed over the previous twelve months. The investigation uncovered 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – encompassing many that were not previously known – landing or taking off from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Travel
Unidentified “females” were documented among the passengers travelling into and out of the UK. Crucially, 15 of these UK flights occurred following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a child.
“This is ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his dealings in the country,” said American attorneys representing hundreds of Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Court Cases
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. However, that victim has not received any contact by British law enforcement, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the Metropolitan police said they had “not been provided with any further information that would support reopening the investigation.” They commented, “If fresh and pertinent information be presented to us, including any resulting from the release of material in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
A bill to make public all files held by the American government in concerning Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. A vast number of documents are projected to be made public.
Separately, a federal judge ordered last week that the department could make public investigative materials from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
