Gnoss Field

Marin County Airport or Gnoss Field, formerly O56, is a public airport two miles northeast of Novato. Gnoss Field covers 90 acres and has one runway and one helipad. 

In 1968, Marin County purchased Gnoss Airport and remodeled it to a more efficient one. The runway is a unique design, designed to take advantage of the strong Bay winds. The runway is angled to the west, almost perpendicular to the prevailing onshore winds. In addition, the airport is a reliever airport for the greater San Francisco Bay Area.

Most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, but Marin County Airport/Gnoss Field is DVO to the FAA and NOT for the IATA code. There is a plan to extend Gnoss’s runway by 1100′ to 4400′. Marin County is commissioning an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and a joint Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
