The flight logs from Jeffrey Epstein's private planes are among the most searched-for Epstein records. They have circulated online for years; the Justice Department has now published copies itself. This guide explains what they are and where the official versions are. We do not reproduce passenger names.
They are pilot logs and related travel records for aircraft Epstein used. The Epstein Files Transparency Act specifically required the release of "flight logs or travel records, including but not limited to manifests, itineraries, pilot records, and customs or immigration documentation, for any aircraft, vessel, or vehicle owned, operated, or used by Jeffrey Epstein or any related entity," as the Justice Department restated in its February 14, 2026 report to Congress.
When the Justice Department adds Epstein files or the Pentagon publishes new UFO files, we email you a short summary and a link to the official records.
On February 27, 2025, Attorney General Pamela Bondi, with the FBI, released the "First Phase of Declassified Epstein Files." According to news coverage of the release, it included flight logs from Epstein's private jet, a partly redacted contacts list and a redacted list of masseuses. The Department's own announcement said the first phase "largely contains documents that have been previously leaked but never released in a formal capacity by the U.S. Government."
Flight and travel records were also part of the Justice Department's releases under the Transparency Act, from December 2025 through its January 30, 2026 release. In the DOJ Epstein Library, the February 2025 material is now consolidated under "Prior DOJ Disclosures" → "First Phase of Declassified Epstein Files"; later travel records sit within the Transparency Act data sets. Our guide to searching the library explains how to navigate it.
A name in a flight log shows that a passenger was recorded on a flight. It does not show why they travelled, what they knew or that they did anything wrong — and logs can be incomplete or contain errors. The Justice Department's own report to Congress notes that names appear across the files "in a wide variety of contexts." That is why we do not publish passenger lists: read the original records and their context instead.
Our standard for this section: we report only what Justice Department releases, court records, the law itself and the Inspector General say. We do not name victims, and we do not publish lists of people who appear in the files — appearing in a document is not evidence of wrongdoing. Allegations are labelled as allegations.
Yes. The Justice Department first formally released flight logs on February 27, 2025 in the 'First Phase of Declassified Epstein Files,' and the Epstein Files Transparency Act required release of all flight logs and travel records. Official copies are in the DOJ Epstein Library at justice.gov/epstein.
No. A flight log records that someone was a passenger; it does not show why they travelled or what they knew. The Justice Department itself says names appear in the files in a wide variety of contexts.
