Are they responsible for his airfare to the wedding out of state??

It is costly for us to travel, and he is only 3 yrs old.
Should they offer his airfare ticket /transportation since they want him to be part of the ceremony?
 
Check with the air line. At 3 either he will still fly free with parents or it will be half price. Are other travel methods possible at a lower cost? You will have to discuss the sharing of cost with the bride and groom.
 
Three-year-olds have to travel now?

I would seriously consider politely declining their offer. It is okay to decline.

Attendants usually pay for their own travel expenses. You are of course free to discuss this with the bride and groom, asking them if they care to handle the expenses.

But I would probably just decline the offer, rather than expect bride and groom to pay. It is always okay to say no, as long as one does it politely.
 
If you agree to having him in the party, then you take on the financial aspect unless they offer to pay. Sorry, but you should have thought of it before you agreed to let him be in it.
 
I would think that they asked for your son to be in the wedding because they were already assuming your family would be coming to the wedding. If you were already planning on going, you would have to take your son with you anyway right? If it's a problem, just let them know thanks, but no thanks for the offer.
