Where can I access the Jeffrey Epstein flight logs online or in public records?
Executive summary
Government and media releases over recent years have made large portions of Jeffrey Epstein’s flight records publicly accessible: the U.S. Department of Justice released a batch of documents in February 2025 that included flight logs [1], and several government and archival sites host the flight logs and related records in downloadable form [2] [3]. Independent news organizations and data projects have also compiled searchable databases of Epstein-related flights drawn from FAA records, court exhibits and pilot manifests [4] [5].
1. Where the DOJ posted flight logs and related Epstein documents
The Justice Department’s public releases are a primary official source: reporting states the DOJ released more than 100 pages of Epstein-related documents in February 2025 that explicitly included flight logs, a redacted contact book, a masseuse list and an evidence list, and news outlets cited that release when locating flight manifests [1] [6] [7].
2. Direct government download links and court exhibits
You can access flight-log files that were made available in connection with U.S. v. Maxwell and related DOJ material. A Justice Department media/document link labeled “B. Flight Log_Released in U.S. v. Maxwell” is listed among the provided sources [2]. Archive-hosted PDFs of “unredacted” flight-log compilations are also available and downloadable [3]. Wikimedia Commons also hosts a PDF file identified as “Epstein flight logs released in USA v. Maxwell” [8].
3. Agency FOIA pages and other official repositories
U.S. Customs and Border Protection maintains a FOIA page cataloguing “All Customs and Border Protection records relating to Jeffrey Epstein,” which may contain travel- or border-related records released under FOIA [9] [10]. The FBI’s Vault includes a Jeffrey Epstein collection that can serve as an official starting point for documents the Bureau has released publicly [11].
4. Independent databases and journalism compilations
News organizations have compiled the records into searchable formats. Business Insider built a database combining flight manifests, ADS‑B tracking data and FAA flight-history records to list thousands of Epstein flights, noting at least 2,618 flights in a searchable dataset [4] [5]. Such projects add context (flight paths, ADS‑B traces) that manifests alone do not provide [4].
5. DocumentCloud, archives and public-hosting mirrors
Major document-hosting platforms have copies of the flight logs and related exhibits. DocumentCloud hosts the “Epstein flight logs released in USA vs. Maxwell” document making it browsable and downloadable [12]. Archive.org and Scribd mirrors are among other public-hosting locations where researchers have posted full-log PDFs [3] [13] [14].
6. What the logs actually represent — and their limits
Analysts caution that flight logs are pilot- or crew-maintained manifests and logistical records — not “client lists” or definitive proof of criminal conduct on a given flight. A forensic review of the broader “Epstein files” emphasizes that flight manifests document movements and passengers for operational, not evidentiary, purposes; they contain names of staff, victims, associates and high-profile figures but do not by themselves establish criminal activity [15] [16]. The DOJ and FBI have reviewed large troves of evidence and one internal memo cited in reporting concluded there was no singular “client list” in the materials reviewed [6].
7. Practical steps to access the logs online
Start with official sources: the DOJ media/document pages for U.S. v. Maxwell filings and the Justice Department releases from February 2025 [2] [1]. Cross-check those PDFs on DocumentCloud and archive.org [12] [3]. For compiled, searchable flight histories with added flight-path data, consult Business Insider’s flight database and reporting on FAA records [4] [5]. If you need border-entry or customs records, check CBP’s FOIA release page for Epstein records [9] [10].
8. Competing perspectives and caveats reporters note
Journalists and analysts diverge about how to interpret names on logs: some outlets highlight named public figures appearing on manifests as newsworthy [17] [18], while analysts warn against conflating presence on a flight with criminal wrongdoing and note that the “Epstein files” comprise multiple kinds of documentation with different evidentiary value [15] [16]. The Justice Department’s phased releases and later congressional actions (reported elsewhere) indicate the archive remains politically and legally contested; readers should treat raw manifests as one piece of a larger evidentiary puzzle [7] [16].
9. If you need records not in these feeds
If the specific flight logs or pages you seek aren’t in the DOJ or archive PDFs, file FOIA requests with agencies that hold aviation, customs or investigative records (CBP, FAA, DOJ, FBI) or consult the House Oversight/committee releases described in reporting on later batches [9] [4] [7]. Available sources do not mention a single government “portal” beyond the DOJ/agency pages and media/document repositories already cited.
Final note: use the official DOJ/agency PDFs cited above as primary documents and treat independent databases as helpful context providers — both are necessary for rigorous analysis [2] [3] [4].
