Calgary (YYC) tracks 25 destinations, and its 15 verified routes lean toward two clusters that might surprise agents used to thinking of Calgary as a secondary hub: all 4 domestic Canadian pairs plus 7 of 10 U.S. routes, but also 4 of Calgary's 6 UK city pairs, a stronger proportional UK showing than either Montreal or Vancouver post in this dataset.
Calgary's UK strength, with Glasgow, Manchester, Heathrow and Gatwick all verified, likely reflects the city's history as an energy-sector gateway with dedicated European service, even though its total tracked network of 25 is the smallest of the four Canadian cities in this batch. What drops to zero is Australia: all 5 tracked pairs are unverified, the same pattern every other Canadian city here shows, which points to Canada-Australia service generally routing through a U.S. or Pacific hub rather than flying direct from any of these origins.
Calgary's 4 domestic connections, to Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal, are all verified, ranging from well under an hour to Vancouver up to 3.5 hours to Montreal.

Calgary's 21 international pairs split more by region than by distance: 7 of 10 U.S. routes and 4 of 6 UK routes are verified, but none of the 5 Australian pairs are, even though some of the unverified U.S. routes, Atlanta, Boston and Miami, are shorter than the verified UK ones.
