Julio Preciado Apologizes After Viral Airport Clash, Says Video Was Edited

The singer says he confronted Volaris staff after hours-long delays with little information.

Overview

  • A video showed Preciado angrily demanding a supervisor at Tijuana’s airport after a delayed flight to Mazatlán, using profane language toward counter staff.
  • In interviews and audio shared with a journalist, he said he was speaking for fellow passengers, claimed the circulated clip was edited, and noted no managers or authorities intervened.
  • Preciado posted a public apology to the young employee he insulted and explained his wheelchair use by citing a disability in one leg.
  • Reports attribute the disruption to dense fog, with some flights delayed up to 12 hours and passengers waiting since early morning.
  • Witnesses alleged he received preferential rebooking and was wheeled to boarding, and while one outlet reported an airline apology, other coverage noted no official Volaris statement as of publication; PROFECO reiterated compensation rules for delays.
