Nearly Ninety Air Travels Connected to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airfields
An investigation has found that nearly 90 flights linked to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly landed at and took off from British airports, with some allegedly transporting British women who assert they were abused by the found guilty child sex offender.
Aviation Records Show Pattern of Travel
These aviation records were among a trove of court documents and files released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the past year. The investigation uncovered 87 flights tied to Epstein – featuring many that were hitherto undisclosed – landing or taking off from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Travel
Unidentified “females” were listed among the passengers travelling into and out of the UK. Notably, 15 of these British airport journeys took place following Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a underage person.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his operations in the country,” said US lawyers representing numerous Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
Evidence from one of the British victims aided the conviction of Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. However, that victim has not received any contact by British law enforcement, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the Metropolitan police stated they had “not been provided with any further evidence that would support reopening the inquiry.” They commented, “Should fresh and pertinent information be presented to us, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of material in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
A bill to disclose every document held by the American government in relation to Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to comply. Hundreds of thousands of documents are expected to be made public.
Separately, a US judge ruled last week that the department could make public case files from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
