PARIS, March 19 (Reuters) - Europe's Airbus is

not happy with technical problems plaguing its U.S. rival Boeing ( BA )

as they are damaging the image of the aerospace industry,

its chief executive said on Tuesday.

"I am not happy with the problems of my competitor. They are

not good for the industry a whole," Guillaume Faury told the

Europe 2024 conference in Berlin, when asked about technical

glitches at Boeing ( BA ).

"We are in an industry where quality and safety is top

priority," he added.

Earlier this month, Boeing ( BA ) told airlines operating 787

Dreamliners to check flight deck switches after a sudden mid-air

dive by a LATAM Airlines 787 plane left more than 50

people injured.
