My bets are there being more, which implies it’s airborne to some extent.

Ebola then spreads in the community through human-to-human transmission, with infection resulting from direct contact (through broken skin or mucous membranes) with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected people, and indirect contact with environments contaminated with such fluids.

WHO says the above so mucus membranes adds a new dimension. Droplets landing in the eye or open mouth or nose, and oops. Besides which I think it is probably more highly infectious than HIV, more successful at one exposure leading to disease that is.

I just finished reading a book called the hot zone. It was published in the mid 90s about the origins and outbreaks of Ebola. It described some strains of Ebola could be transmitted airborne.
