Systems (50), methods (200) and non-transitory computer readable storage media (80) for airspace management within an airspace region (10) at a node (52, 54, 56, 58) of a peer to peer network having a plurality of nodes (52, 54, 56, 58) and maintaining a blockchain (100) containing a current deconflicted flight schedule for the airspace region (10). One method (200) includes receiving (202) requests for airspace reservations, each including flight plan data, from other nodes over the peer to peer network, compiling (204) the flight plan data to identify (206) conflicts between the requests and the current deconflicted flight schedule, validating (210) the flight plan data of the requests that do not conflict with the current deconflicted flight schedule to generate validated airspace reservations, creating (212) a block containing the validated airspace reservations and interlinking (214) the block with the blockchain such that the blockchain contains a new deconflicted flight schedule for the airspace region for broadcast (216) to the other nodes over the peer to peer network.
