Upon taxiing at night on the ramp of FBO; there was wingtip to wingtip contact between Company Falcon and Baron. The left wingtip of the Falcon made contact with the bottom of the Baron's right wingtip during night taxi.Should not have taxied at night. Recommended action should have been to leave the aircraft at its current location and not taxi the aircraft. We; as the crew; were considering passenger and crew convenience to prepare the aircraft for flight. A request was made to move the aircraft; but a 'certified tow' person was not available. The procedure was simple enough but I believe night complicated things.
During repositioning on ramp at night our left wingtip contacted the right wingtip of parked Baron.I was looking at the Baron for as long as it was in view before I had to shift my attention forward to the Marshaller. It appeared that we would clear it with no problem. At no time did the Marshaller give a stop signal.We had requested our aircraft be towed on line for us to get it ready for passenger operations; but [Company X] claimed that their linemen on duty were not tow qualified; hence the need to taxi the aircraft. More care in taxiing aircraft and the use of a wing walker.
While taxiing at night to reposition on the airport; a Falcon jet wingtip clipped the bottom of a Baron wing. A Marshaller was guiding the aircraft in tight spaces because a certified tow person was not available.
