Close to 90 Flights Connected to Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airports
Analysis has found that close to 90 aircraft journeys connected to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly arrived at and departed from UK airports, with some allegedly transporting British women who claim they were victimized by the found guilty child sex offender.

These aviation records were part of a trove of court documents and files released by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the last year. The analysis uncovered 87 aircraft movements tied to Epstein – encompassing 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
Unnamed women were listed among the travelers travelling into and out of the UK. Crucially, 15 of these British airport journeys occurred following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a child.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his activities in the country,” remarked American attorneys representing hundreds of Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Court Cases
Evidence from one of the UK-based survivors was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that individual has not been approached by police in the UK, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the London's Metropolitan Police indicated they had “not been provided with any further information that would support reopening the investigation.” They noted, “Should new and relevant information be presented to us, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will assess it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to disclose every document held by the US government in regarding Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to comply. Hundreds of thousands of documents are anticipated to be released.
Additionally, a US judge ordered last week that the department could publicly release investigative materials from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
