The effects would be amplified over current but not distinguished over that of pollution, and the particles would not be detectable unless you were specifically looking for them.
This fly ash would be mixed with jet fuel and supplied to airlines all over the world. No sprayers or crop dusters needed, it would cycle through the engine without harm to the aircraft and be expelled in the exhaust where it would disperse into the air.

I was considering the possibility of an entity taking g coal fly ash, a simple byproduct of many power plants and trains, and collecting it all over the world, perhaps though a new environmental policy. This fly ash would be mixed with jet fuel and supplied to airlines all over the world. No sprayers or crop dusters needed, it would cycle through the engine without harm to the aircraft and be expelled in the exhaust where it would disperse into the air. The effects would be amplified over current but not distinguished over that of pollution, and the particles would not be detectable unless you were specifically looking for them. Various industries could be the scapegoat, such as automobiles or factories, and if it were found out the coal industry would take the hit. What is ATS's view on this?
I would suggest that the small particle size would make it though and be pushed out no problem, and the flyash could be dissolved in a chemical like ethanol and sold as an additive by one company and be mandated to be added to fuel by legislation. A small drop in fuel efficiency would be noticed, just like that of E-85 fuel for cars.

Ignoring the likely destruction of the engines - what for?
Population control by globalist deepstate for a more manageable serf class.

This would destroy a jet engine very quickly.
The Fuel filters would get clogged, then the bypass would engage. The contaminated fuel would disrupt the fuel nozzles, causing uneven burning, which would burn through the combustor liner. Fuel burn would increase, temperatures would be erratic and the engine would likely show damage/warnings in one, long haul flight.
The acceptable contaminant rate in jet fuel is measure in PPM (parts per million), you would not be able to get enough ash in the fuel to accomplish anything.
Also, each jet fuel producer tests their own samples for purity and other factors. My wife was an intern checking samples for Sun Oil decades ago. That process would need to stop.
I don't think it's plausible.

When the engines start failing in flight, and the planes start crashing.
Surely that's depopulation rather than population control. I think we need clarification here
Yes, I mean it is to lower population.
