An approach for identifying slot exchanges for flights among a schedule of an aircraft operator includes acquiring existing slot assignments and flight schedules for flights operated by any airline that participate in a slot exchange program for a particular controlled airspace. Cost values are assigned to slots of the aircraft operator based on various criteria, such as any difference between flight times of particular flights and corresponding assigned slots. An optimization is performed to identify any alternate authority issued slots that, if assigned to flights of the aircraft operator, result in reduced cost values. Slot exchange requests are issued for the alternate authority issued slots in a manner that facilitates acceptance of the request without user intervention, by either the send or receiving airline. Flight schedules and assigned slots may be represented on a common display.
