DUBAI, June 4 (Reuters) - The Qantas chief

executive said on Tuesday she was confident Boeing ( BA ) would

address the quality issues at the American planemaker, which

have plunged the company into a crisis.

"I'm very confident when I speak to the Boeing ( BA ) leadership

team that they are very focused on what they need to do to

address their quality issues," Qantas CEO Vanessa Hudson told

reporters at an airline industry conference in Dubai.

"Everything that we've heard from Boeing ( BA ) gives me the sense

that they will get on top of it."
