Is it possile for ebola to mutate into an airborne virus?

From what I understand, the Ebola virus cannot be transmitted through the air. It is transmitted similar to HIV/AIDS, by contact with blood and bodily secretions of an infected individual. But is it possible for the Ebola virus to naturally mutate and become airborne?

Very unlikely. Viruses don't change their tropism that easily, I don't know of any examples where that has occurred. The Ebola virus is well adapted to its niche, so there is no selective pressure to change that.
