You are correct about the individual airlines. Maybe there should be another set of forums in FT Travel.
But, there IS a set of Forums for Airports. That is where an Airport question belongs.
If the moderation policy/guidelines are changed, FT will become a vast wasteland of crap. As it is now, Press Releases are cluttering the indiviual forums when the SHOULD be in the "In the News" forum. Add in even more off-topic threads and FT will become useless.
