Approximately 90 Air Travels Associated to Epstein Allegedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airfields
A review has found that approximately 90 aircraft journeys associated to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly arrived at and departed from UK airfields, with some reportedly transporting women from the UK who claim they were abused by the found guilty sex offender.
Aviation Records Reveal Pattern of Movement
The travel manifests were among a trove of court documents and papers released by Epstein’s estate that have been disclosed over the past year. The analysis uncovered 87 aircraft movements tied to Epstein – including many that were not previously known – landing or taking off from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Travel
Unnamed female passengers were listed among the travelers flying to and from the UK. Notably, 15 of these flights involving the UK took place subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a child.
“It was ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his activities in the country,” stated American attorneys acting for hundreds of Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
Evidence from one of the British victims aided the conviction of Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. Yet, that victim has not received any contact by UK authorities, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the Metropolitan police stated they had “not received any further evidence that would support restarting the probe.” They noted, “If new and relevant evidence be presented to us, encompassing any resulting from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will review it.”
Continuing Document Release and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to disclose every document held by the US government in relation to Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. Hundreds of thousands of files are projected to be made public.
In a related development, a US judge ordered last week that the DOJ could publicly release case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
