I have been due to traveling from Turkey (Turkish Citizen-Non EU)) to Hungary. I was rejected to board the plane because my passport expires less than 3 months at the time of travel (Although I have a return ticket one week later.) I didn't know that many countries require the passport have at least 3 months validity at the time of entrance ( I have a special passport; it doesn't require any visa to most countries) I was planning to fly Pegasus Airlines (Turkish low-cost airline).
I wonder what the situations are in other countries. Do Other airline companies let their passengers to fly and leave up to chance that the passenger cross the border. Has anybody been rejected of the entrance to the country at the custom office due to this rule? What happens somebody show up at the custom office with a passport less than 3 months of expiration date. Do the custom offices take this situation lightly at the border and let the passengers have the entrance to a country?

An airline that made a habit of carrying passengers whose passports etc. do not meet the official requirements for entry would have to budget a lot of money for fines and the cost of taking people back where they came from.

@David the Schengen three month rule does not quite apply to everyone, since it does not apply EU citizens or nationals of Schengen countries. It also does not apply to people with residence permits or long-stay (type D) visas. It does apply to both Annex I travelers (who need visas) and Annex II travelers (who do not) when they enter for a "short stay" as defined in the Schengen Borders Code.

Passport requirements vary from country to country. To enter the Schengen area you must have a passport that is valid for three months beyond the date you expect to leave. Other countries may require six months, or require only that your passport is valid for the length of your stay.
It is your responsibility to ensure you have the correct documentation*. There are many resources you can use for this, and many questions on this site are on this topic.
If an airline transports someone who doesn't have the correct documentation for the country they are visiting the airline can be fined and is responsible for removing you to a country that will accept you. This is why they check your documents and will deny you boarding if you don't comply.
* Passport validity, valid visa, and possibly other things like travel insurance or available funds.
