1. A method for sharing aerial assets of at least one aerial cell, the method comprising:
predicting, by an aerial asset manager, a requirement of capacity for supporting data traffic pertaining to at least one terrestrial cell belonging to at least one terrestrial operator;
deploying, by the aerial asset manager, the at least one aerial cell, if required capacity of the at least one terrestrial cell is greater than a threshold capacity; and
sharing, by the aerial asset manager, at least one asset of the at least one aerial cell amongst the at least one terrestrial cell based on at least one sharing architecture,
wherein deploying the at least one aerial cell includes managing the trajectory of the at least one aerial cell to bring it to a region in which the at least one aerial cell can share the at least one asset with the at least one terrestrial cell when it is determined that the required capacity of the at least one terrestrial cell is greater than the threshold capacity.
