Accepted answer

The applicability of the section of regulations you quote is found in 14 CFR 259.2, which states:

This part applies to all the flights of a certificated or commuter air carrier if the carrier operates scheduled passenger service or public charter service using any aircraft originally designed to have a passenger capacity of 30 or more seats, and to all flights to and from the U.S. of a foreign carrier if the carrier operates scheduled passenger service or public charter service to and from the U.S. using any aircraft originally designed to have a passenger capacity of 30 or more seats, except as otherwise provided in this part. This part does not apply to foreign carrier charters that operate to and from the United States if no new passengers are picked up in the United States.

The way I read this is that the regulation only applies to foreign carriers' flights within, to or from the United States, but it applies to any flight of a U.S. carrier anywhere in the world.
