Phoenix Aviation goes into liquidation!!
On 14 July 95, Phoenix Aviation went into liquidation after running up debts of more than �1 million. Christopher Barrett Jolley, boss of Phoenix Aviation, had suspended flights back on 4 May due to `routine maintenance` but they had never restarted.

Barrett Jolley said, "Although the company is owed alot more money than it owes, the situation with the animal flights has become impossible, absolutely impossible to continue."

Police chiefs breathed a huge sigh of relief at the news. Financing the huge police operation at Coventry Airport had cost in excess of �500,000 in the 8 months since veal flights started. Hundreds of officers including mounted police had been on constant standby and more than 200 arrests were made.

Midland campaigners met outside the airport gates the next morning where they held a party(which lasted the rest of the day) but pledged to fight on for the end of all live exports.
