AC 3526 (AC3526) is sold by Air Canada. On a codeshare another airline may operate the flight, and the operating airline determines which rules apply.

Neither EU261 nor UK261 usually applies to flights from United States to United States. If the flight was part of a booking that started in the EU or the UK, the rules may still apply.

Does EU261 apply to Air Canada flight AC 3526?

Usually not, unless AC3526 was part of a booking that started in the EU or the UK.

Who operates Air Canada flight AC 3526?

In our data, Air Canada is the airline selling AC3526. Who actually operates the flight is shown on your ticket or booking confirmation.

Was AC 3526 part of a connecting flight? How is compensation calculated?

Your booking shows this, not the flight number. If AC3526 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).
