You should trust free markets and the widely distributed, deep wisdom of contracts. There are already market-based mechanisms in use for such needs in other areas of life.
For example, one can rent an indoor soccer field at a fixed weekly time for a fixed annual amount, and nobody else gets to use that field during that time. Then once a year that contract can be re-negotiated if someone else is offering a better deal -- better field? higher or lower price? nicer changing room? shorter- or longer-term agreement? etc.

After all, we do have private airlines who in some way do coordinate access to a shared resource via the air traffic authority. The innovation the parent was suggesting was that airspace is allocated/traded in realtime without any long-term arrangements in effect. (If I understood it correctly)
