• British police are assessing private flight data linked to Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking activities.
• Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown has called for urgent investigations into Epstein's UK ties.
• 87 flights associated with Epstein took off or landed at UK airports from the 1990s to 2018.
• Stansted Airport officials state they do not manage private jet passengers.
• A national coordination group has been created to investigate Epstein's influence in the UK.

British police, particularly Essex Police, are assessing information regarding private flights at Stansted Airport following the release of documents by the U.S. Department of Justice related to Jeffrey Epstein. This review aims to understand if women were trafficked using these routes, as indicated by former Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who emphasized the need for a "full-scale" investigation into Epstein’s activities within the UK, suggesting that critical details will emerge from a thorough examination of the flight records, according to BBC and AA.

As part of the efforts, UK police forces have formed a national coordination group to enhance investigations into Epstein's connections in Britain. The Essex Police indicated that their assessment does not constitute a full investigation, although they acknowledge the seriousness of the allegations. The BBC reported that official records showed 87 flights linked to Epstein arriving in or departing from UK airports from the early 1990s to 2018, with a focus on those flights where unidentified females were noted as passengers, according to Reuters and AA.

Stansted Airport clarified that it does not manage passenger arrangements for private flights, reiterating that all private aircraft operate through independent terminals with no involvement from the airport, ensuring that the airport's oversight of passenger safety does not extend to these specific activities. Therefore, they do not have visibility on the passenger list of such flights, communicated the airport in their statement, according to BBC and Reuters.

Additionally, as part of ongoing investigations, Thames Valley Police are examining allegations against Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew), linked to Epstein, noting that these inquiries have arisen from newly released documents that reference his interactions with Epstein, despite his denials of any wrongdoing. This evolving situation underscores the ongoing scrutiny of Epstein's associations with prominent figures in Britain, according to Reuters and AA.
