2024: this Boeing 727 tri-holer is to be scrapped. Nobody wants it anymore... "Guilty by association"...

The Boeing 727 nicknamed the Lolita Express is complete with red interior, a mirrored wall and bedroom. It hasn't flown since 2016 and was sold to Florida-based World Aviation Services in 2020

'When I bought the plane I didn't know who he was or what he did with it,' the new owner said. 'My business is aviation - not this Epstein s**t. I wasn't happy'

But after learning about the plane's central role in Epstein's sex trafficking empire, the company's shocked boss has abandoned any hopes of finding a buyer and will instead strip it down for anything of value.

The last registration of the machine is N908JE. The Boeing 727-100 is now better known to the media as the Lolita Express. Its owner for around 20 years was convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. He hanged himself in his prison cell in New York in 2019. He is said to have used the plane, among other things, to fly underage women to his private island.

The Boeing 727 completed its last flight on July 11, 2016. It was from Palm Beach International Airport to Brunswick Golden Isles Airport in Georgia. It has been there ever since, near a Stambaugh Aviation maintenance hangar. The aircraft maintenance company charges about $1,000 per month in fees. In 2019 the three engines were removed.

No offers to purchase
After Epstein's suicide, the Boeing 727 was sold several times. In January 2020 it was also offered for sale on Ebay . The starting price was 395,000 euros. However, the offer was removed before the auction ended. In March 2020, aircraft broker World Aviation Services bought the aircraft in the hope of reselling it for a profit.
