Description: On September 15, 1972, Braniff inaugurated two entirely new segments as authorized by the Civil Aeronautics Board under the U.S. - Mexico bilateral agreement: Dallas to Mexico City and Acapulco, and Houston - Acapulco nonstop. No cachets were sought for the inaugural mail,This cover was one of only 10 pieces of mail carried on the inaugural Foreign Air Mail Route 34 flight from Houston, Texas to Acapulco, Mexico (where it was backstamped) and is listed in the Foreign Air Mail Flights (FAM) Section of The American Air Mail Catalogue as F34-80.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.
