An Embraer Legacy 600, was taxiing for departure when the left winglet struck the tail cone of a parked ATR 42 aircraft (NAF930).
Contributory factors
1. Continuing the taxi of 5N-BXK even when the flight crew were in desperate need of ground assistance to proceed.
2. Non-conduct of flight crew BRIEFING on Taxiing in a congested apron prior to commencing the taxi.
3. The inappropriate parking of the military aircraft NAF 930 with its tail section protruding into the Taxi Lane used by 5N-BXK on the congested apron.
4. The use of non-standard marshalling techniques together with the deployment of untrained personnel to marshal the NAF930 to that parking spot on the congested GAT/Cargo Apron.
5. Inadequate number of FAAN Marshallers to provide the required taxi and parking guidance to all traffic on the congested GAT/Cargo Apron.
6. Inability of the continual improvement process enshrined in the safety management system of the airport to timely detect as a safety hazard to other traffic, the inappropriate parking of the ATR 42 (NAF930) on the GAT/Cargo apron
