PSG star team lands at Ostend-Bruges Airport for tonight’s game against Club Brugge, but was this charter necessary?

Necessary or not, thousands of flights happen every day on private jets for a single person all around the world.
Those "superstars" are not any different. And they don't care at all.

And if football players were there to show how to behave, I guess football wouldn't exist anymore

It’s exactly these kind of flights which give aviation a bad image.
Boarding 30 min, flight 45 minutes, get into the bus 30 minutes, bus trip to the hotel 30 min in total 2h15 minutes to avoid a bus trip of 3h30 minutes. It’s nothing else than exaggerating to impress and self-worship.
These flights, just as any other private jet as well as connection hops when direct flights are available, should be heavily taxed and only allowed to/from airports which are not slot restricted.

It’s exactly these kind of flights which give aviation a bad image.

Not to mention that that aircraft had to be positioned empty twice to allow that flight : from ORY to LBG and then from CDG to ORY ! Quite an impressive carbon footprint for this trip !
