An airbrake locking assembly for keeping parking brake engaged on a vehicle with airbrakes includes a vehicle that has airbrakes which include a parking brake plunger. The parking brake plunger is positionable in an actuated position and an un-actuated position. A collar is provided that has a first half being pivotally coupled to a second half. The collar is positionable around the parking brake plunger when the parking brake plunger is positioned in the actuated position. Moreover, the collar inhibits the parking brake plunger from being urged into the un-actuated position when the collar is positioned around the parking brake plunger. In this way the vehicle is retained in a parked position thereby enhancing safety for individuals entering and exiting the vehicle. A lock is coupled to first half of the collar and releasably engages the second half.
