The Qantas Airways Limited (ASX: QAN) share price is gaining this morning, despite no news having been released by the company.
However, the ASX 200 travel giant isn't alone in the green. Many of its peers are also seeing gains this morning amid news Victoria and South Australia are preparing to end their lockdowns.
Right now, the Qantas share price is $4.72, 2.61% higher than its previous close.
That's particularly impressive when compared to the broader market.
Currently, the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) is up 0.39%, while the All Ordinaries Index (ASX: XAO) is gaining 0.37%.
Let's take a closer look at the Qantas share price's moves today.
Lockdowns ending, ASX 200 travel shares up
While Sydney is still in the midst of a battle against COVID-19's delta strain, Victoria and South Australia are set to gain a semblance of normality from midnight tonight.
Whether the good news for the 2 southern states is reflecting in the Qantas share price isn't clear.
However, Qantas isn't alone in having a good day on the ASX. The airline's ASX 200 travel peers are also being boosted higher.
The Webjet Limited (ASX: WEB) share price is currently up 2.07%, while shares in Flight Centre Travel Group Ltd (ASX: FLT) are 1.73% higher.
Unsurprisingly, the Sydney Airport Holdings Pty Ltd (ASX: SYD) share price isn't taking part in today's sea of green. It's down 0.38% at the time of writing.
