Description: On November 30, 1980 Braniff International inaugurated Boeing 727 service to Toronto and Montreal. The service originated in Houston and operated to Dallas / Fort Worth before proceeding to Toronto and Montreal, the flight terminus.The cachet was suggested and designed by the American Air Mail Society. This cover was carried on the inaugural Braniff International flight from the Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas Airport Mail Facility to Toronto, Canada and is listed in The American Air Mail Catalogue as BN-D79Nf.Braniff ceased air carrier operations in May 1982 because of high fuel prices, credit card interest rates and extreme competition from the large trunk carriers and the new airline startups created by the Airline Deregulation Act of December 1978.Two later airlines used the Braniff name: the Hyatt Hotels-backed Braniff, Inc. in 1983–1989, and Braniff International Airlines, Inc. in 1991–1992.
