Does EU261 apply to Icelandair flight FI 524?

Who operates Icelandair flight FI 524?
In our data, Icelandair is the airline selling FI524. Who actually operates the flight is shown on your ticket or booking confirmation.
Was FI 524 part of a connecting flight? How is compensation calculated?
Your booking shows this, not the flight number. If FI524 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 (€400 per passenger (EU261)).
