Since 2020, the Railway has overcome the difficulties caused by coVID-19, and its traffic volume has risen against the trend. In the first half of the year, its operating income has increased by 51% compared with the same period in 2019. In particular, it has helped Ethiopia to transport more than 100,000 tons of urgently needed materials such as fertilizer and wheat, effectively ensuring supplies for people's livelihood and transportation of agricultural materials. On August 22nd, the Addis Ababa Railway also opened a cold-chain transport service, bringing fresh Ethiopian agricultural products to Europe and the rest of the world.

During the epidemic, yagi Railway has played an effective role as a "transport lifeline" and a "livelihood guarantee line", which has been recognized by the local society. The owner specially sent out a seven-page letter of thanks, praising the excellent performance of the Chinese operation team. Chinese Ambassador to Ethiopia Tan Jian commented that the Addis Ababa-Djibouti Railway is not only a transportation line, but also an economic corridor and a road to prosperity. It has opened a railway passage to the sea for landlocked Ethiopia, effectively promoted the industrialization and urbanization development along the railway, and highlighted great value during the epidemic. After more than two years of operation, Yagi Railway has entered a virtuous circle. He hoped that all parties will continue to support and actively use the Railway and actively invest in the Railway and the economic belt along the Railway, so as to make the Railway more successful.

It is understood that by the end of 2020, the Railway will realize the goal of "running four pairs of freight trains every day", and by 2023, the railway is expected to run six pairs of freight trains every day, further giving play to the railway's efficiency. At present, the Chinese operation joint venture has decomposed the above goals into specific action plans, including improving supporting facilities, improving railway logistics services, carrying out oil transportation, and improving cargo handling efficiency. Some of the plans have been put into practice and the results have shown initial results.
