Kyle Arnold is the aerospace and transportation reporter for the Tulsa World, covering American Airlines, NORDAM, Spirit AeroSystems and thousands of employees in the Tulsa region.

Kyle has been a Tulsa World business writer with the since 2008 and previously covered manufacturing, retail and agriculture for the newspaper before taking over the aerospace beat. Before coming to Tulsa, he spent nearly three years in McAllen, Texas covering business along the Mexico-Texas border.

Kyle grew up in Washington state around the aerospace industry and graduated in 2005 from the University of Washington in Seattle. Both his parents work in the aerospace industry at Boeing Inc. in the Seattle area, as does his brother and numerous family and friends.

Aerospace is one of the Tulsa region's largest private industries, with nearly 6,500 employees with American Airlines alone. Along with energy, airplane manufacturers and airlines create a manufacturing core in Tulsa that employees more than 50,000 people.

Tulsa's aerospace history stretches back more than a century. Oil tycoons made Tulsa an aviation center when they needed an airport for flights to oilfields across the region. But the industry took off during World War II when Douglas Aircraft began building bombers at a plant near the Tulsa International Airport. Those plants later became home to many of Tulsa's largest aerospace employers.
