On Air Parking

What On Air Parking does

On Air Parking is a privately held digital marketplace, founded in 2016 and headquartered in Westlake Village, California, that enables consumers to reserve off-airport parking at rates typically 50% or more below on-airport prices. The platform operates across 80+ major U.S. airports and has extended into cruise port parking and select city parking markets, including monthly subscription options in Austin, Baltimore, and New York City. Its core technology is a cloud-based reservation platform with native iOS and Android applications that integrate real-time availability, QR-code reservation access, shuttle coordination, and live TSA security wait time data, supported by a content footprint of 225+ SEO-optimized blog pages and earned media features in Forbes, Inc., and The Washington Post.

The business is a two-sided marketplace monetized through three revenue streams: per-booking transaction fees and marketplace commissions on parking reservations, supplier-side revenue from the Parking Partner Network of facility operators (iPark, Wally Park, Fine Airport Park, and hotel-based park-and-fly lots from Hyatt, Marriott, Hilton, and Westin), and affiliate/creator referral commissions distributed through Blogger, Influencer, and Content Creator programs. Distribution is digital-first via the company's owned website, mobile apps, and an integration with Kayak; the company carries BBB A accreditation, 4+ star app store and Tripadvisor ratings, and an active presence on TikTok, YouTube, and X. There is no disclosed institutional funding beyond a $200,000 round in 2017, no M&A activity, and the company is founder-led (CEO Carlos Chilin, Chairman and Co-Founder Patrick Murray, Co-Founder Brett Harwood) with a headcount in the 11–50 range, signaling a lean, bootstrapped operating model.
