  The rapid development of drone technology is leading to more and more use
cases being proposed. In response, regulators are drawing up drone traffic
management frameworks. However, to design solutions that are efficient, fair,
simple, non-manipulable, and scalable, we need market design and AI expertise.
To this end, we introduce the drone traffic management problem as a new
research challenge to the market design and AI communities. We present five
design desiderata that we have derived from our interviews with stakeholders
from the regulatory side as well as from public and private enterprises.
Finally, we provide an overview of the solution space to point out possible
directions for future research.
