could be transmitted through the air and not just through fluids.

A study conducted in 2012 showed that Ebola was able to travel between pigs and monkeys that were in separate cages and were never placed in direct contact.

Though the method of transmission in the study was not officially determined, one of the scientists involved, Dr. Gary Kobinger, from the National Microbiology Laboratory at the Public Health Agency of Canada, told BBC News that he believed that the infection was spread through large droplets that were suspended in the air.
"What we suspect is happening is large droplets; they can stay in the air, but not long; they don't go far," he explained. "But they can be absorbed in the airway, and this is how the infection starts, and this is what we think, because we saw a lot of evidence in the lungs of the non-human primates that the virus got in that way."

Translation: Ebola IS an airborne virus.

For thosre of you interested, here's the lab report ...
Double-blind and peer reviewed so don't let TPTB tell you it's rubbish

Allons-y

Given that Ebola displays Flu like symptoms in the early stages, then yes I would say its fair to conclude that infected persons sneezing could easily result in the disease being spread via airborne particles.
