Franklinn becomes sole cabin crew partner for Air Deccan

Mysore, May 5 (UNI) Leading Air hostess Trainer, Frankfinn Institute of Air hostess Training, has now become an exclusive cabin crew recruitment partner of low cost airliner Air Deccan.

Addressing the media persons Institute MD Rakesh Agarwal, said the partnership, initially under a two year agreement, ensures that only students trained at Frankinn would be recruited by Air Deccan.

The institute was in a position to guarantee at least 400 placement each year during the contract period from its 65 locations, he said.
