I doubt they had the capacity, there were 5 figures people to move (?). Certainly aki couldn't handle dozens of flights and thousands of holidaymakers per day pitching up.
But once you've got them onboard it's easier to keep going and fly them to the UK, it complicates things flying them to another country, the bottleneck was in Egypt.
It can be useful to fly them to a third country in some circumstances but I can't see how it would have helped flying them to cyprus.
