The Aircraft
Jeffrey Epstein maintained a Boeing 727 aircraft (tail number N908JE) which became known in media accounts as the ‘Lolita Express.’ He also had other private aircraft. The 727, with its capacity for many passengers and long-haul range, was the primary vehicle for transporting guests to his private island.
The Manifests
Flight manifests for the Epstein aircraft were obtained through legal proceedings and subsequently made public through court filings. The manifests showed the names of passengers who traveled on the aircraft, their destinations, and the dates.
Prominent Passengers
The manifests documented travel by numerous prominent individuals including Bill Clinton (multiple flights), Prince Andrew, Alan Dershowitz, Kevin Spacey, Larry Summers, and various others. Being on the manifest does not by itself imply knowledge of or participation in crimes.
Bill Clinton’s Flights
The manifests showed former President Bill Clinton flew on Epstein’s aircraft multiple times. Clinton stated he had traveled to Africa on legitimate charitable mission related trips but denied ever visiting Epstein’s island.
Virginia Giuffre’s Account
Virginia Giuffre stated she traveled on the Epstein aircraft and encountered prominent passengers in ways that she described as part of the abuse operation.
