By all accounts the route is doing well against the stronghold that KL has at AMS. My last rotation on the A330 - 100% and 99% load factors respectively.
Great to see seats filled but fair to wonder at what price into Amsterdam. Having densified-TS on the low end and KLM w/ J offering and extensive beyond-AMS network cannot be easy.
I don't think AC will close shop in AMS, but if Rouge gets the nod to take over, it would not be a surprise at all IMO.
