Lukacs says the problem with transparency goes beyond the airline industry.
He says the Canadian Transportation Agency is heavily editing documents it receives when it is considering passenger complaints.
The advocate for passenger rights says the records that help the agency make decisions should be available for public scrutiny.
Lukacs previously sparked changes at several Canadian airlines on policies including compensation for passengers bumped by overbooking.
He says he is making a constitutional challenge against the regulator base on the principle courts should be open.
