Jeffrey Epstein trafficked women through British airports until a month before his arrest in 2019, the Epstein files suggest.
Booking records, flight logs, as well as fuel receipts – a part of the trove of documents released by the Department of Justice – show the paedophile financier flew to and from Britain over 60 times.
And the disgraced financier, 66, booked commercial flights for women in and out of the UK just a month before his arrest in 2019.
It is understood that six police forces are probing whether victims were trafficked on the financier’s private plane in and out of UK airports as well as RAF bases.
Among RAF bases included in the investigation is Northolt, a station in Ruislip, west London, which was instrumental in the country’s defence during the Battle of Britain in World War II.
Gordon Brown has requested that six police forces assess whether Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor utilised the air force for trips linked to Epstein.
The former Labour Prime Minister has handed a file of evidence regarding flights to the forces whose policing authority boundaries cover relevant airports where the sex offender’s jet may have landed.
Police forces included are the Metropolitan Police, Surrey, Sussex, Thames Valley, Norfolk and Bedfordshire constabularies, which cover Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton, RAF Horsham and RAF Marsham between them.

Documents indicate the paedophile’s plane landed at RAF Northolt in 2015. Andrew has always denied any wrongdoing.
Epstein’s associates organised journeys from Heathrow to New York and back for a Russian woman, whose name has been removed from records, on June 1 and June 9.
The paedophile’s assistant, Lesley Groff, also asked an Amex concierge and account manager to add an unreserved hotel record to an itinerary.
And when she replied, it could be too late to make the booking as well as cancel it, Groff responded: ‘Can you just type up a hotel in an itinerary?’
The account manager later discovered a hotel which could do same-day cancellations, which Epstein’s assistant answered: ‘Just add it to itinerary. I will cancel tomorrow morning.’
Groff also requested the same concierge arrange a ‘decoy flight’ for a woman journeying to Miami in 2016.
The e-mail read: ‘No return for this flight … This is a decoy flight … she will not really take it … but she needs to show an itinerary for this flight … can you put something together for me.’
A journey departing from Rome and landing in London City airport was suggested, to which she answered: ‘Let me find out if the fake ticket can show London City.’
Lawyers representing Groff have previously stated Epstein’s former assistant had ‘never witnessed anything improper or illegal’.
The recent findings were lambasted as ‘scandalous’ by Nazir Afzal, former chief crown prosecutor.
‘Time and time again when the police have been asked to investigate Epstein in respect of sexual abuse and trafficking, we’ve been told that a review found no need,’ he told The Times.
‘How then is it possible for The Times and others to uncover vital incriminating evidence when a police review found no need to find it?’
The 64-year-old, behind the prosecution of grooming gangs in northern England, said in the last week we have seen that when the state is the alleged victim, it can ‘move at pace’, but when the alleged victim is a woman, it ‘finds an excuse not to move at all’.
It comes as new documents indicate Epstein’s private plane had arrived at RAF Northolt in 2015 – two years later than was known.

Records in the Epstein files show a receipt for a Gulfstream jet fuelling at an RAF base on May 8, 2015, with journeys to Northolt having previously been noted in 2013.
Before he was jailed in 2008 after being found guilty of sex offences, Epstein made several journeys to and from UK airports on his Boeing 727.
Most of his journeys were back and forth from Luton, and continued following his release in 2009, but at a lower rate.
The financier and Ghislaine Maxwell, his assistant and a woman, travelled from Luton to Paris in December 2000.
Tom Pritzker, an American businessman, was picked up by Epstein the following day, as well as an individual referenced as ‘one female’ in flight logs.
The plane flew to RAF Marham, after which they are said to have visited Sandringham estate in Norfolk.
Pritzker has not been accused of wrongdoing and previously said last month that he regretted his links with Epstein.
In 2011, The Telegraph asked Epstein’s representatives about the likelihood that Andrew aided in organising the landing.
The financier queried his pilot, Larry Visoski and went on to email Maxwell saying ‘spoke to larry, it’s true’.
After Sandringham, the aircraft was moved to Norwich before it flew back to the US with a pitstop in Gander, Canada, two days later.
In December 2012, the financier’s plane received extensive repairs at Stanstead. Once fixed, Epstein flew a young Russian woman, whose name was removed from the files, to the US.
In his correspondence with aviation experts, Epstein asked for guidance on whether the woman could come into the UK before heading to the US using a Russian passport.
Other documents show the financer chartered a Cessna Citation jet to take him and the woman from Paris to Stansted, before they embarked on his plane to head to the US.
Ten police forces are examining allegations in relation to Epstein, as well as claims he trafficked girls to and from the UK.
It comes after Epstein blamed ‘Charles’ on the very day Andrew was forced to step down as Britain’s trade envoy, emails revealed.
On 21 July, 2011 – the day it was publicly announced that the then-Prince would quit his role as the UK’s special representative for international trade and investment – the convicted sex offender wrote: ‘I assume he knows that this is Charles doing.’
The message was sent in response to an associate who had told him: ‘Lots of TV coverage on PA and always big feature on you. Insane.’
It is understood that ‘PA’ refers to Prince Andrew.
At the time, Andrew had served as the UK’s special representative for international trade and investment for a decade, from 2001 to 2011.
The high-profile role gave him access to senior government figures and powerful business leaders around the world.
He stepped back from the post amid growing scrutiny and criticism over his continued relationship with Epstein, the US financier and convicted sex offender.
A photograph of the pair walking together in New York had already made headlines in the months leading up to his departure, intensifying public pressure.
The emails offer fragments of private conversations from the period when Andrew and Epstein’s association was attracting global attention, some 15 years ago.
Epstein spent much of the day emailing contacts about the news that Andrew had lost his official trade role.
In another message, Epstein wrote: ‘I’m sure this is good for him, he will now be free.’
He also forwarded a news article about Andrew stepping down to Ghislaine Maxwell, who replied simply: ‘why?’
Epstein responded: ‘I think he wants to make money.’
Andrew, now 66, was arrested last Thursday on suspicion of misconduct in public office after being accused of leaking secrets to paedophile Jeffrey Epstein while serving as the UK’s trade envoy.
He was released under investigation after spending 11 hours in custody, and police last night confirmed they had concluded searches of his former Windsor mansion, Royal Lodge. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has always denied any wrongdoing.
Meanwhile, the FBI has noted a series of omitted interviews include an unsubstantiated allegation that Donald Trump forced a victim of Epstein’s towards his ‘exposed penis, which she subsequently bit’.
The bureau had conversations with the woman on four occasions, which began in 2019, however, she ‘refused to co-operate’ with a possible probe into the US President, according to an email between FBI agents in July 2025.
Trump has always denied any involvement or knowledge of the financier’s crimes.
The Department of Justice has also not answered queries from the NPR, as well as a number of Democrat senators who said the account is evidence that the trove of documents has been interfered with to protect the US President.
