Human Factors
After a normal flight and landing at ZZZ we were taxing into Gate XX at ZZZ Terminal XX. We were cleared in to the gate area by Ramp Control; there were rampers waiting for us as we arrived. At Gate XX; the gate next to our assigned gate; another aircraft was waiting on push back; there was another ramp crew with that aircraft also. The marshallers started to wave us in; I lined up on the center line at Gate XX and began to taxi in. A few ft. short of the stop line the lead gave us a very sudden stop. I stopped the aircraft and set the parking brake. Within a few minutes it became clear we had collided with the aircraft at Gate XY. We deplaned the passengers normally via the jet bridge.Seems like it was a case of the ramp crew just not paying attention.
CRJ 900 Captain reported a ground collision; while parking; with another aircraft at an adjacent gate. The Captain states the ground crew was not paying attention while they were signaling the aircraft into the gate.
