Narrative:
At around XA50; I was marshalling aircraft X which was parked next to aircraft Y and aircraft Z and didn't realize that it was too close to aircraft Y. When starting to taxi and turn; the tails clipped each other. The horizontal stabilizer tip and the elevator on aircraft X clipped the tip of the horizontal stabilizer on aircraft Y causing damage to both tips. Taxiing aircraft X were mr a; left seat; and mr B; right seat. Marshaling was myself and removing chocks was mr C; walking the right side of aircraft X was D. Assuming that I had wing walkers without asking first; assuming that walkaround was done correctly and being rushed I think were the contributing factors.
