Narrative:
We were taxiing out towards Z1 when we were advised to exit Z2 because a plane was being towed in on Z1. We made a left turn down one of the last lanes on the ramp to proceed to Z2. We taxied between 2 planes that were parked. I was looking out the right side to assure clearance and informed the captain; who was taxiing; that we had plenty of room. I assumed we cleared the left side as we continued to taxi. I felt a small bump as we taxied out; and assumed we had passed over one of the drainage grates on the ramp. Upon landing; as I opened the door; the lineman said something to the effect of 'you're missing part of the wing'. I looked up to see that the top of the winglet was indeed missing. I informed the captain of the problem and he proceeded to take pictures and call maintenance. Perhaps wing walkers in the ramp area until we are out of the ramp area and on to a taxiway.
