Close to 90 Air Travels Linked to Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airports

Analysis has identified that close to 90 aircraft journeys linked to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly arrived at and departed from British airports, with some reportedly having onboard women from the UK who allege they were victimized by the found guilty sex offender.

Aviation Records Uncover Pattern of Travel

These aviation records were part of a trove of legal papers and files made public by Epstein’s estate that have been disclosed over the last year. The analysis identified 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – including many that were previously unknown – arriving or departing from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.

Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Flights

Unidentified female passengers were recorded among the passengers flying to and from the UK. Crucially, 15 of these flights involving the UK happened following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a minor.

“It was ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his operations in the country,” said American attorneys representing numerous Epstein victims.

UK Survivors and Court Cases

A statement from one of the British victims was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that victim has not been approached by police in the UK, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.

In a response, the Metropolitan police said they had “not received any additional evidence that would support restarting the probe.” They commented, “Should new and relevant evidence be brought to our attention, encompassing any resulting from the release of material in the US, we will review it.”

Ongoing Disclosure and Legal Rulings

Proposed legislation to make public every document held by the US government in regarding Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to comply. Hundreds of thousands of documents are expected to be released.

Separately, a federal judge ruled last week that the department could make public investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
