    Braniff International was a American carrier who was also the only American airline to fly the concorde (it was leased from BA like the Singapore one) braniff was a quite known airline with only a few crashes (I only know two a viscount disintegrating due to bad weather and a 707 losing it engines and crash landing near a river on a test flight)
