Description: Braniff Airways inaugurated non-stop service from Tulsa to Chicago on Air Mail Route 9 on March 15, 1953. This cover was carried on the inaugural Air Mail Route 9 flight from Tulsa, Oklahoma to Chicago, Illinois (where it was backstamped).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.
