Taxiing to park after landing the right wing tip of our aircraft struck an aircraft parked adjacent to the taxiway. The aircraft was parked on the right side of the taxiway was marked with cones and I; looking cross-cockpit; thought I had clearance. There was another aircraft directly opposite on the left side of taxiway with engines running. I felt a bump as I taxied between the two aircraft and thought the aircraft with engines running must have blown some unseen debris that I taxied over. I continued for approximately 100 yards to park at the hangar and saw the damage to our right wing tip.I was distracted by the running aircraft on my left and did not pay close enough attention to the clearance from the other aircraft. In the future; I will stop and insure proper clearance before proceeding.I had taxied out the other day past the aircraft parked there. Taxiing in; the cones and aircraft appeared to be in the same position. In the future; I will not let prior events influence my assessment of the current situation.
While taxiing to his hangar parking spot; a PC-12 pilot was distracted by an aircraft with engines running to his left and allowed his right wingtip to hit an aircraft to his right damaging his wingtip.
