He wouldn’t need to have vomited on everyone.
Apparently coughing or sneezing in an enclosed area can spread it as well.
Although the Liberian expat who crashed in Lagos seems to have done a good job spreading the infection. 1 for sure, 2 probable. And, 8 more having suspicious symptoms even though they’ve tested negative. So far.

OK, let’s play your game. I withdraw my previous assumptions and accept your new one.
But then I’m now free to assume further that Dr. Brantly, as an expert on Ebola, told a stewardess to notify the pilot that he should radio ahead with a message to CDC in Atlanta, saying that Brantly was coughing and sneezing, with the result that all passengers had now probably been exposed to Ebola.
Upon getting that news, CDC staff tell their counterparts at FAA and TSA, who in turn order the plane to land ASAP in Atlanta, with an immediate quarantine being imposed on everybody aboard. Again, pandemic nipped in the bud.
