In order to participate in the PreCheck program, airlines must include the KTN in the PNR, be able to receive from the TSA passengers' PreCheck eligibility information and incorporate strong digital signatures into the barcodes of their boarding passes. Adding that technological capability may not make financial sense to foreign carriers if only a small percentage of their passengers would benefit from it.

That is discussed in the following thread in the Travel Safety/Security - Trusted Travelers forum (specifically in posts # 44, 75 & 80):
