Well we know airbender can create vacuums. As such, it is likely they could at least create a vacuum around the person's body/head making the air around them separated from the person so they couldn't breath it. That is a bit different then sucking the air out of someone's body. I don't know if that is possible, but there is no evidence against it so far. But whenever it comes to manipulating the bodies of other beings, the rules can change so I don't know if it would be. But at the very least, an airbender should be able to use vacuums to prevent the air from getting there in the first place. Unless there is something I'm not aware of, that is.
