Jeffrey Epstein operated multiple private aircraft, most notably a Boeing 727 registered as N908JE and widely known as the “Lolita Express.” The flight logs from these aircraft have become central evidence in the investigation of his trafficking network.
The Aircraft
- N908JE — Boeing 727, the primary aircraft, capable of intercontinental flights
- N122JE — A Gulfstream II used for shorter trips
- Additional smaller aircraft — used for local Caribbean flights to the USVI properties
How the Logs Were Obtained
Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office investigator Michael Reiter obtained some flight logs during the 2005-2006 investigation. Journalist Conchita Sarnoff obtained comprehensive logs during research for her book TrafficKing. Civil litigation has produced additional manifests.
Key Destinations
The logs reveal extensive travel to:
- New York (Teterboro Airport, JFK)
- Palm Beach, Florida
- Santa Fe/Albuquerque, New Mexico (Zorro Ranch)
- St. Thomas, USVI (connection to Little Saint James)
- London
- Paris
- Various international destinations
Prominent Passengers (Per Logs)
The logs document dozens of prominent individuals as passengers:
- Bill Clinton — reportedly flew 26 times on Epstein’s aircraft
- Prince Andrew — documented multiple times
- Kevin Spacey — confirmed passenger
- Chris Tucker — confirmed passenger
- Lawrence Krauss — frequent science conference trips
Critical note: Presence on a flight log indicates travel, not criminal participation. Many passengers have explained legitimate reasons for flights.
What the Logs Don’t Show
The flight logs do not record the full identity of all passengers — many are listed by initials or first name only. Staff, security personnel, and others are often not recorded. Victim testimony suggests that not all individuals on the island arrived by the logged aircraft.
Analysis
Researchers and journalists have mapped flight patterns to show the frequency of trips to known crime scenes (Little Saint James, Palm Beach, New York). The pattern is consistent with the trafficking operation described by survivors.
