In the last five years, Huaxi has had revenues of 229.6 billion yuan.
"The difficult task ahead will be training pilots," Zhou said. "It also suggests a huge but untapped market for pilot training."
Zhou said that a pilot training program, with the help of local professional colleges, was also under consideration.
"We plan to train at least 100 people as pilots and we will 'rent' them to other parts of the country," said Zhou.
The village, covering an area of 0.96 square kilometers, has a population of about 1,500.
Only 100 km to the west of Shanghai, Huaxi has built a landing area for the helicopters, 208 meters long and 12 meters wide.
Before buying the two helicopters, the village occasionally hired helicopters to give villagers flights to celebrate important events.
"It is my life dream to make our village as the best in China. We are the first village with aircraft in the country," said Wu Renbao, 83, who used to serve as chief of Huaxi Village Committee of the Communist Party of China for about 50 years.
Since the 1980s, Huaxi has recorded a series of firsts among China's villages, having the first air-conditioners, villas and cars for all families.
Huaxi has more than 800 cars as well as a fleet of low-emission sightseeing cars for the use of tourists and residents.
"It is beyond my imagination. We can drive a car, take a boat and maybe fly a plane someday," said 66-year-old villager Dai Quanxing.
