The only FB/Skyteam route ex GLA (excepting the soon-to-be-departed CO flight to EWR) is KLM's 4-a-day to/from AMS: it's not so difficult or expensive to do GLA-EDI but the gesture would be appreciated.

I was only quoting some marketing that I read, I know it really means nothing - but it would have been an odd thing to say if they knew a route chop was around the corner.
I can't see the market for GLA-EDI. The cities are a very short distance apart and neither end is a SkyTeam hub.
It does seem odd that GLA has no direct link to CDG and indeed BHD was chosen ahead of GLA in the original CityJet expansion (back at the time no one operated LCY-GLA).
Overall, AF's coverage of the UK is significantly poorer than what KL offers. SOU is one of the few airports served by AF and not KL.
