The United States Attorney General’s office made public a trove of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein on Thursday, February 27, reigniting global interest in the case. Among the files was a set of flight logs detailing travel to and from locations connected to Epstein’s network, with several high-profile names appearing on the list—including former President Donald Trump.
The disclosure has also led to curiosity about the airport code associated with Epstein’s infamous private island, Little Saint James. While some have speculated about an official designation, the island does not possess a formally recognized ICAO or IATA airport code. The commonly referenced SIJ code belongs to Siglufjörður Airport in Iceland, not Epstein’s property, which primarily relied on a private helipad and docking area for transportation.
Did Donald Trump fly to Epstein Island?
According to the Department of Justice’s newly released flight logs, Trump’s name appeared in connection with two flights. The first documented journey was from Palm Beach, Florida—where Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate is located—to Washington, D.C. The second recorded trip showed Trump traveling from Palm Beach to Teterboro Airport in New Jersey. However, there is no evidence in the logs indicating that the former president ever traveled to Epstein’s private island.
Department of Justice publishes the files
Following weeks of anticipation, the Department of Justice, under the leadership of U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, formally released the long-awaited files. Bondi had hinted earlier in the week that the documents would become available on Thursday, but they were not officially published on the DOJ website until late afternoon. The release was accompanied by an official press statement detailing the contents and significance of the files.
While much of the material had already been accessible in the public domain through unofficial leaks, the DOJ’s formal release marks a significant moment in the ongoing investigation into Epstein’s crimes and connections.
In the statement, the DOJ declared: “Today, Attorney General Pamela Bondi, in conjunction with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), declassified and publicly released files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his sexual exploitation of over 250 underage girls at his homes in New York and Florida, among other locations.”
The release of these documents is expected to fuel further scrutiny into Epstein’s network, his powerful associates, and the extent of their involvement in his illicit activities.
