Close to Ninety Air Travels Linked to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Landed at or Took Off from UK Airports
Analysis has identified that close to 90 aircraft journeys connected to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly touched down at and left UK airports, with some allegedly transporting British women who allege they were exploited by the found guilty sex offender.

The flight logs were among a trove of court documents and files released by Epstein’s estate that have been disclosed over the previous twelve months. The review uncovered 87 flights tied to Epstein – featuring many that were hitherto undisclosed – arriving or departing from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unidentified female passengers were recorded among the individuals entering and exiting the UK. Significantly, 15 of these British airport journeys took place subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a child.
“It was ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his activities in the country,” stated US lawyers representing hundreds of Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
Testimony from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that individual has never been contacted by police in the UK, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the the Met stated they had “not received any new evidence that would support reopening the probe.” They commented, “Should new and relevant information be brought to our attention, including any arising from the release of material in the US, we will review it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to release all files held by the American government in relation to Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to follow through. A vast number of files are anticipated to be released.
In a related development, a federal judge decided last week that the department could publicly release case files from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
