The airline is undoubtedly responsible in this situation.

The guidance for airlines can be found here. It specifies:

In cases where a passenger possesses a digital eVisa, they might not have a physical visa or other authorization document to review. The receipt of a 0A (board) message serves as acceptable proof of their authorization to travel to the UK.

They shouldn’t require anything else; the passport number provided through the API should suffice for them to obtain the “board” message.

If that fails:

In situations where a passenger lacks a valid physical visa or visa exemption document, you may also accept proof of UK status provided by the passenger through the online ‘View and Prove’ service. To offer this proof, a passenger must log into their eVisa account and create a share code. This share code (along with the passenger’s date of birth) can then be utilized to verify the passenger’s status information via the ‘Check someone’s immigration’ status service on gov.uk.

Moreover, given the complications with eVisas, BRPs remain valid even if they expired on 31/12/2024. For example, Timatic indicates:

Expired biometric residence permits (BRPs) are accepted until 31 March 2025, provided they expire on or after 31 December 2024.
