I am not so sure about this. If a passenger is not allowed into a country by Immigration, the carrier is responsibly for bringing them back.
Overstay is different. If I take UA (for example) to BKK and instead of staying 90 days, stay 2 years, is UA somehow responsible for getting me back? I do not think so.
