“…Market-based approaches have been studied for strategic demand management and tactical deconfliction in the aviation context, including airport slot auctions (Ball et al, 2005), slot trading during Ground Delay Programs (Vossen and Ball, 2006), and mobility permits for airspace sector access (Corolli et al, 2014). More recently, there have proposals to consider auctions and other market-based mechanisms for AAM airspace use (Skorup, 2019;Seuken et al, 2021). While auctions have been a controversial topic in conventional aviation, especially in the United States (Grether et al, 1989), the proposed privatization of AAM service providers (Federal Aviation Administration, 2020) could make market-based mechanisms such as auctions feasible ways of allocating and pricing airspace resources.…”
