Its routes were primarily in the midwestern and southwestern United States -  Mexico -  Central America -  and South America. In the late 1970s -  it expanded to Asia and Europe. In October 1951 -  Braniff flew to 29 airports in the US -  from Chicago and Denver south to Brownsville -  Texas -  to Central America -  Cuba -  and South America. After months of negotiations Braniff acquired Mid-Continent Airlines a small Kansas City-based trunk line on August 16 -  1952. The merger added numerous cities -  including Minneapolis\/St. Paul -  Sioux City -  and Sioux Falls in the North; Des Moines -  Omaha -  and St. Louis in the Midwest; and Tulsa -  Shreveport -  and New Orleans in the South. The acquisition of the Minneapolis\/St. Paul to Kansas City route (with stops in Des Moines and Rochester -  Minnesota) was of particular interest to Braniff -  as Mid-Continent had been awarded this route instead of Braniff in 1939. After the merger Braniff operated 75 aircraft and over 4000 employees -  including 400 pilots. In 1955 Braniff was the tenth largest US airline by passenger-miles and the ninth largest by domestic passenger-miles. Beard led Braniff into the jet age. The first jets were four Boeing 707-227s. In 1965 Braniff's fleet was about half jet -  comprising 707s -  720s and British Aircraft Corporation BAC One-Eleven jetliners. The long range Boeing 707-320C intercontinental model was then introduced. However -  the 707 -  720 and One-Eleven would all subsequently be removed from the fleet. Braniff's last piston schedule was operated with a Convair aircraft in September 1967 and the last Lockheed L-188 Electra turboprop service was flown about May 1969.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Goldvarg Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67687600390322,"sku":"DDS-GC-BI-002","price":143.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0792\/4927\/7106\/files\/GC-BI-002__30841.jpg?v=1791874531","url":"https:\/\/vroomvroom.toys\/products\/1958-ford-ranchero-aircraft-maintenance-car-yellow-braniff-international-airways-limited-edition-to-125-pieces-worldwide-1-43-model-car-by-goldvarg-collection","provider":"The VroomVroom Toy Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
