>> the last two killed themselves by detonating their suicide vests.

Couldn't they take off the vests and detonate them, without blowing themselves up?

Not only would they generally prefer 'martyrdom' to capture, they're often locked in the vests. Survival is not a priority for these kinds of operations.

The airport was sealed: the only options were suicide or capture by the police, and both options were almost certainly lethal.
