Look, the GLA connection is mainly intended to feed LH's dual hub operation via FRA/MUC, just like TK do via IST, all of which do well at EDI and not GLA. GLA has had multiples tries at both LH to FRA, this is the third iteration, likewise Air France to CDG, all failed at GLA but continue with multiple daily frequencies out of EDI. It's international connectivity writ large. Frankly GLA is Scotland's Gatters to EDI's Heathrow.
Bucket and spade outbound versus capital city with great business connectivity. GLA's business offering is actually worse than it was when I was growing up in the 90s, not many UK airports can make that claim. Of course traffic volumes are up but just like Belfast (there's a link right there!), it's a case of #thatlldaeme
