Territory: U.S. Virgin Islands (St. Thomas / Cyril E. King Airport)
Period: 2000-2018
Source: CBP FOIA Release
OVERVIEW:
U.S. Customs and Border Protection maintained records of arrivals to the U.S. Virgin Islands on aircraft registered to entities controlled by Jeffrey Epstein. These records document passenger arrivals at Cyril E. King Airport in St. Thomas, which served as the primary air gateway to Epstein's private islands — Little St. James and Great St. James.
AIRCRAFT DOCUMENTED:
- Boeing 727-31 (N908JE)
- Gulfstream II/SP (N120JE)
- Helicopter transfers (St. Thomas to Little St. James)
- Various chartered aircraft
PASSENGER RECORDS:
CBP arrival records include:
- Passport information for arriving passengers
- Country of origin for international flights
- Declaration information
- Minor passengers traveling with non-family adults
- Crew manifests and flight crew declarations
ISLAND ACCESS:
Little St. James Island was accessible primarily by:
1. Helicopter from St. Thomas (approximately 5-minute flight)
2. Boat from Red Hook, St. Thomas (approximately 20-minute crossing)
3. Private vessel from other locations
SIGNIFICANCE:
These CBP records provide an additional layer of documentation beyond the private flight logs, as they represent government-maintained records of who entered the USVI on Epstein's aircraft. They were among the documents obtained during the federal investigation and referenced in court proceedings related to the USVI's civil enforcement action against the Epstein estate.
