FTSE 100 movers: Travel shares rally; ITV goes ex-dividend

(Sharecast News) - London's FTSE 100 was up 0.4% at 7,614.07 in afternoon trade on Thursday. Travel-related shares were on the rise, perhaps boosted by a solid update from low-cost airline Wizz Air, which said it was expecting to ramp up capacity beyond pre-pandemic levels for its summer schedule as it forecast a better-than-expected final quarter.

InterContinental Hotels, BA and Iberia owner IAG and Premier Inn owner Whitbread all rallied.

On the downside, broadcaster ITV fell as it traded without entitlement to the dividend.

Smiths Group was also in the red after it announced the appointment of Clare Scherrer as chief financial officer with effect from 29 April, succeeding John Shipsey.
