Plenty of other Liverpool fans are arriving, and have arrived. This is probably less than 10% of the match tickets sold to Liverpool fans (16626 were allocated to Liverpool by UEFA). Unless these three flights were booked by fans somehow different from the others, I doubt the local police would notice any difference if they didn't arrive.

For what it's worth, I'm literally just back from Kiev (IEV) and there were certainly a lot of private jets there earlier today, parked on what was a fairly congested ramp, with almost all of them bleating about 'slots' out of there. We took 100 fans there on Friday (from STN) and brought the same 100 fans back from there this afternoon (to STN) with zero hassle at any stage (all fans in good spirits albeit with some of them evidently suffering from something of a thick head).
As for the other assertion, I'd be surprised if on any given weekend there are more than half a dozen RAF stations up and down the country where you're likely to see anything moving other than the base gliding club and/or the Air Cadets/UASs.
