Does EU261 apply to Air Canada flight AC 1749?

Who operates Air Canada flight AC 1749?
In our data, Air Canada is the airline selling AC1749. Who actually operates the flight is shown on your ticket or booking confirmation.
Was AC 1749 part of a connecting flight? How is compensation calculated?
Your booking shows this, not the flight number. If AC1749 was part of a connecting journey on one booking, distance is counted from the first departure airport to the final destination, and the delay is counted on arrival at the final destination. The distance band (short-, medium- or long-haul) follows that distance and may then differ from this leg (usually none).
