No idea how a Wilmslow to Manchester Airport busway will work, considering the funding for the Wilmslow to Manchester Airport bus service was withdrawn on 1st April and an attempt of a commercial Macclesfield-Wilmslow-Manchester Airport service by D&G Bus has been unsuccessful and will be withdrawn next month. If normal buses can't make a profit between Wilmslow and Manchester Airport and no-one is willing to fund them, then how can a guided busway possibly work?

The only way I can see these ever coming to fruition is in the format of/including an off site park and ride for staff. Otherwise there just isn’t the numbers actively on public transport on these flows to justify construction.
