Nearly Ninety Flights Connected to Epstein Reportedly Came to or from British Airports
Analysis has found that approximately 90 flights associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein are said to have landed at and took off from UK airports, with some reportedly transporting British women who allege they were abused by the found guilty child sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Trail of Movement
These aviation records were part of thousands of court documents and files released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the last year. The analysis found 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – including many that were previously unknown – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Travel
Unnamed female passengers were recorded among the travelers flying to and from the UK. Notably, 15 of these flights involving the UK occurred subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a child.
“It was ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his activities in the country,” stated US lawyers acting for numerous Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
Testimony from one of the British victims aided the conviction of Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that survivor has not received any contact by UK authorities, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the Metropolitan police stated they had “not been provided with any additional information that would support reopening the investigation.” They noted, “Should new and relevant evidence be brought to our attention, including any resulting from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to disclose every document held by the American government in concerning Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to follow through. Hundreds of thousands of files are projected to be made public.
Separately, a federal judge decided last week that the DOJ could make public case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
