The Webjet Limited (ASX: WEB) share price is taking off on Monday, trading in the green despite no news having been released by the online travel agency.
However, one of its ASX travel peers released an optimistic update regarding its upcoming earnings this morning.
At the time of writing, the Webjet share price is $5.13, 1.89% higher than its previous close.
For context, the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) is down 0.09% right now.
So, whatâs bolstering the ASX 200 travel giant higher today? Letâs take a look.
What’s boosting the Webjet share price?
The Webjet share price is soaring alongside its ASX 200 travel peers today. Their gains are likely driven by promising news from Flight Centre Travel Group Ltd (ASX: FLT) camp.
The travel giant announced it had experienced strong demand for global travel towards the end of financial year 2022. So much so that itâs upgraded its guidance.
The travel agency now expects to post an underlying earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) loss of between $180 million and $190 million.
Previously, it expected to post an underlying EBITDA loss of between $195 million and $225 million.
It also expects to break even over the six months ended June and to post a healthy fourth-quarter profit.
Of course, that also likely bodes well for Webjet. The company returned to profit over the six months ended 31 March. Itâs expected to release its full-year earnings in November.
The Webjet share price is also joined in the green by many other ASX 200 travel shares.
Notably, Qantas Airways Limited (ASX: QAN) and Corporate Travel Management Ltd (ASX: CTD). Theyâre currently up 1.8% and 5%, respectively.
