Nearly 90 Air Travels Associated to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airfields
A review has uncovered that nearly 90 flights connected to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have touched down at and left British airports, with some reportedly carrying women from the UK who assert they were abused by the found guilty sex offender.
Flight Logs Show Trail of Movement
The travel manifests were among thousands of court documents and papers made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been disclosed over the last year. The analysis found 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – including many that were previously unknown – arriving or departing from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Travel
Unnamed female passengers were listed among the passengers travelling into and out of the UK. Significantly, 15 of these UK flights happened following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a child.
“It was ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his activities in the country,” stated American attorneys representing numerous Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Court Cases
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors aided the conviction of Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that survivor has not been approached by UK authorities, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police indicated they had “not received any further information that would support restarting the inquiry.” They added, “If fresh and pertinent information be brought to our attention, including any arising from the release of material in the US, we will review it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
A bill to make public all files held by the American government in regarding Epstein passed 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 anticipated to be made public.
In a related development, a federal judge ordered last week that the DOJ could publicly release investigative materials from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
