Do you now? Well, here is an example for you among many, many air service agreements:

specified hereunder:

Points Behind – Points in Canada – Intermediate Points – Points in and
within Member States – Points Beyond
(b) For the airlines of the European Community:
Points Behind – Points in Member States – Intermediate Points – Points in
and within Canada – Points Beyond
[etc...]
So, according to this, something like SEA-YVR-LHR-CDG could constitute a route. But presumably, they do not know what they are talking about. You know better than them what route means and it certainly cannot mean that, can it?
