KLM are fat for LHR slots so would be unlikely IMHO. I sometimes wonder if even LHR-CDG adds much for Air France nowadays, it's gone all A220 of late so it would be masochistic of AF to undermine that further by opening LGW. They don't even offer LCY anymore either.
Btw is Singapore going North or South?
Does it really surprise you that Lufthansa's Gatwick-Frankfurt loads are dire given how often Lufthansa and Frankfurt Airport staff are going on strike? Who in their right mind wants to risk flying with Lufthansa and / or via Frankfurt only to have their travel plans disrupted given that there are far better options like Emirates, Qatar Airways Singapore Airlines and Turkish for example, especially when seated at the back of the plane and when flying out of Gatwick (incl. Singapore Airlines from June this year)?
