Elias Elia (businessman)
Elias Elia is a Greek Cypriot businessman whose profile made headlines after multiple airlines across Europe collapsed.[1] He was the owner of E-Clear, a $ billion company that handled payments mostly for the travel industry.
Background[edit]
Elias was successful in the travel payment industry. In an interview he said, "We're here today to expand on the collaborations with airlines".[2]
He tried to prop up another company after buying E-Clear back from its administrators. A report claimed that Elia bought a brand-new £135,000 Ferrari in the spring of 2008 and a £155,000 Rolls-Royce Phantom, in May of the same year.[3]
Other Companies[edit]
Links were found from Elias to Elian properties and the Allbury Travel Group, both of which also went into administration soon after E-Clear's demise.
