2370.5311 miles, eh? Some pretty severe spurious accuracy there. These guys (who might know nearly as much about the aircraft as Wikipedia does ) suggest the basic version has a max range of 1430 nm (i.e. payload restricted). Great circle (not airways) SEN-CFU is 1076 nm. I'm not sure the beancounters would give that the thumbs up: a long sector, probably payload-limited, so unlikely to be particularly lucrative, if it even breaks even.

Payload-range chart is on page 23 here, BTW, if you want to get on it. The Volotea aircraft are 114,000 lb MTOW, I believe.
