The airline more often than not won't make an issue of it, but they ought to pay attention to the passport validity date-related rules (if any) of the receiving country.
When entering the UK, the UK immigration authorities haven't cared to stop entries on my US passport on the basis of upcoming passport expiration date, but then again I've always had plans to depart long before the passport would become invalid for travel.
