Conor Shine, the airlines reporter at the Dallas Morning News, is leaving the paper.

His last day is Feb. 1.

Shine is moving to the Los Angeles area to be with his girlfriend who recently got a job there. His next job is to be determined.

Shine became the airlines reporter at the Morning News in March 2016, covering Southwest and American as well as the two airports.

Conor arrived at the Morning News in September 2015 after four years covering local government and politics for the Las Vegas Sun. A graduate of the University of Minnesota, he spent his youth in the “Air Capital of the World” — Wichita, Kansas — where he met lots of people who help build planes.

Earlier this month, the Morning News lost two business reporters as part of layoffs at the paper.
