Particularly in the case of AMM and CAI, the routes have only just gone to being a short haul service at the end of October 2020 and with a fare reduction to go along with the move from a Worldwide to Euro service. Unless something dramatically changes in the type of tickets being purchased, yields of said tickets and cargo uplift on the routes affected then it's highly unlikely to revert anytime soon.
