The town is served by Médouneu Airport.

Although Médouneu lies entirely outside the de-jure boundaries of Gabon and inside the ones of Equatorial Guinea, the latter does not claim sovereignty over it in order to avoid a similar conflict around Ebibeyin, the third most populous city in Equatorial Guinea after Bata and Malabo, but which has a large part of its territory within the de-jure boundaries of Gabon.{{cite news | url=https://sovereignlimits.com/blog/the-strange-boundaries-of-equatorial-guinea | title=The Strange Boundaries of Equatorial Guinea | Sovereign Limits | newspaper=Sovereign Limits | date=2 March 2020 | last1=Wood | first1=Marissa }}
