Does EU261 apply to SWISS flight LX 3043?

Who operates SWISS flight LX 3043?
In our data, SWISS is the airline selling LX3043. Who actually operates the flight is shown on your ticket or booking confirmation.
Was LX 3043 part of a connecting flight? How is compensation calculated?
Your booking shows this, not the flight number. If LX3043 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 (£520 (UK261), depending on the airline).
