Close to Ninety Flights Associated to Epstein Allegedly Came to or from UK Airfields

Analysis has found that close to 90 aircraft journeys connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly touched down at and left British airfields, with some allegedly having onboard British women who claim they were exploited by the convicted child sex offender.

The travel manifests were among a trove of court documents and papers released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the last year. The investigation identified 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – featuring many that were not previously known – landing or taking off from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.

Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Travel

Unnamed female passengers were listed among the passengers entering and exiting the UK. Notably, 15 of these UK flights happened after Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a minor.

“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his activities in the country,” said US lawyers acting for numerous Epstein victims.

UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings

A statement from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that victim has not received any contact by British law enforcement, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.

In a response, the London's Metropolitan Police indicated they had “not received any further information that would support reopening the investigation.” They noted, “If fresh and pertinent information be brought to our attention, including any arising from the disclosure of material in the US, we will review it.”

Continuing Document Release and Legal Rulings

Proposed legislation to disclose all files held by the American government in relation to Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to follow through. Hundreds of thousands of papers are anticipated to be released.

Separately, a US judge ordered last week that the department could make public investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
