TL;DR
If both flights are with the same airline, they handle the rebooking. If different airlines, contact the second carrier yourself — especially to protect your return ticket from cancellation.

When connecting flights are with different airlines, you must contact the second carrier yourself. This is critical if you have a return ticket with them — no-show on the outbound leg can trigger automatic cancellation of the return.
