Did Prince Andrew fly on Jeffrey Epstein’s plane Lolita Express?
Jeffrey Epstein built a network that moved young girls across borders under the guise of massage work and private travel. His Boeing 727 earned the nickname Lolita Express because it ferried those girls between his properties, including the private island he once called Little St. James. The question of who else sat on those flights has stayed central to reporting on the case, and Prince Andrew’s name has appeared repeatedly in the records.
The Lolita Express list
The Boeing 727 carried passengers to Epstein’s homes in New York, Florida, New Mexico, Paris, and the Caribbean. Virginia Giuffre has described being flown to those locations and required to engage in sexual acts with Epstein and his associates. Former staff at Little St. James have recalled seeing girls walking around the property without clothes. The plane made those movements possible while keeping the groups away from commercial airport scrutiny.
House Oversight Committee documents released in 2025 and 2026 list several flights that included Prince Andrew. A May 12, 2000 manifest shows him traveling with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell from Teterboro, New Jersey, to West Palm Beach, Florida. A September 1, 2006 flight from Luton to Edinburgh also lists Andrew alongside Maxwell. Two additional 1999 flights name Andrew traveling with a royal protection officer. Pilot Larry Visoski, who flew the aircraft nearly thirty years and logged roughly one thousand trips between 1991 and 2019, confirmed Andrew’s presence on the plane. Visoski stated he did not witness sexual activity during flights, though the documents make clear the plane moved the same passengers who later faced allegations at Epstein’s properties.
Essex Police and other UK authorities continue to review flight logs at British airports in 2026. The review covers at least ninety flights, fifteen of them after Epstein’s 2008 conviction, with attention to whether any movements constituted trafficking into the UK. The aircraft itself stopped flying after September 17, 2024, and has remained in storage at Brunswick Golden Isles Airport in Georgia since 2016. Little St. James, the island referenced throughout the case, was sold in 2023 for sixty million dollars to Stephen Deckoff. No construction has begun as of 2026, and the property stays private.
Prince Andrew & Jeffrey Epstein
Prince Andrew has maintained that he never saw or participated in any sexual exploitation connected to Epstein. Giuffre alleged that she was directed to have sex with Andrew on three occasions, including once in London. Court filings and flight manifests place Andrew on the plane on multiple dates. The 2025 and 2026 document releases added concrete confirmation of those trips, including the May 2000 Teterboro-to-West Palm Beach route and the September 2006 Luton-to-Edinburgh flight.
Giuffre died in 2025. Reports from 2026 indicate that the settlement she reached with Andrew in 2022 has not been repaid, including loans reportedly extended by the late Queen, Prince Philip, and King Charles. UK police continue to examine the flight records independently of that civil case. The new manifests and the ongoing review keep the documented travel between Andrew and Epstein in public view.
Recent Document Releases and Flight Confirmations
Multiple batches of Epstein estate files released by the House Oversight Committee and the Department of Justice in 2025 and 2026 contain passenger manifests that directly name Prince Andrew. The May 2000 Teterboro-to-West Palm Beach manifest, the September 2006 Luton-to-Edinburgh flight, and two 1999 flights all appear in the newly unsealed material. These records add specific dates and routes to the earlier testimony from pilot Larry Visoski.
Ongoing UK Investigations into Epstein Flights
Essex Police and national UK authorities are actively reviewing flight logs for Epstein’s jet at UK airports in 2026. The examination covers at least ninety flights, including fifteen that took place after Epstein’s 2008 conviction. Investigators are focused on whether any of those movements involved trafficking into Britain.
Current Status of the Lolita Express Aircraft
The Boeing 727 that carried the nickname Lolita Express has not flown since September 17, 2024. The aircraft remains in long-term storage at Brunswick Golden Isles Airport in Georgia, where it has been kept since around 2016. Its grounding marks the end of operational use for the plane central to the case.
Epstein Island Ownership and Future Plans
Little St. James and Great St. James were sold in 2023 for sixty million dollars to financier Stephen Deckoff. Plans for a luxury resort were announced at the time of purchase. As of 2026, no construction has been reported and the islands remain private property.
The documented flights, the pilot’s testimony, and the continuing police review together show how the plane operated as a tool within Epstein’s network. Prince Andrew’s name appears on multiple manifests released in recent years, and UK authorities continue to examine those records. The aircraft itself now sits unused, and the island has passed to new ownership without further development.
