Braniff never truly operated Concorde, it was more akin to a codeshare agreement today. All Concordes were owned and operated by BA and Air France but used special Braniff crews between Dallas and Washington, then BA/AF crews flew the supersonic sectors. No aircraft was ever painted in a Braniff livery and the "experiment" never really paid off. The same also happened with Singapore Airlines.
So the video is correct. BA/AF were the only two operators of Concorde as they were the only two airlines to buy them and concordes were never "leased" out
