1. They leave is future tense. They leave tomorrow, future.
2. They are leaving for the airport right now. Good sentence.
3. The leave - again future tense. Try, they left for the airport just now.
4. They are leaving for the airport, now/ at this moment/ as we speak. Just now sounds past tense. Just then, just a few moments ago.
Leave - future, left - past, are leaving - present.
Right now - present, just then, just a few moments ago - past tense.

No, right now is used to say, this exact moment.
Just now is used to say, it happened very recently.

I finished my chores right now. This moment I am done.
