Marin County Airport – Gnoss Field (DVO) is a general aviation airport located two miles northeast of Novato, California. Serving as a reliever airport for the San Francisco Bay Area, Gnoss Field is favored by private pilots and regional business travelers seeking quick access to the North Bay. The airport covers 90 acres and features a single runway and a helipad.
JetOptions Private Jets provides private jet charter access to Marin County Airport for regional flights, Bay Area events, and leisure travel to Northern California. While the runway length limits access to smaller aircraft classes, light jets and turboprops can operate from DVO, offering a scenic arrival point just north of San Francisco.
Due to its shorter runway, Gnoss Field is best suited for turboprops and light jets such as the Pilatus PC-12, Citation CJ3, and Phenom 100. Larger aircraft may require alternate airports until the proposed expansion is completed. Recommended nearby airports with longer runways include:
JetOptions coordinates all ground services, including car rentals, hotel accommodations, and door-to-door transportation from these alternate airports to Marin County, Napa Valley, and San Francisco destinations.
Flying private into Gnoss Field or nearby airports provides fast access to the Bay Area’s top destinations:

Marin County is conducting an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and a joint Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to support the proposed runway extension. The expansion aims to enhance safety and accommodate a broader range of aircraft in the future.
