Narrative:
While taxiing, the aircraft's left wing struck a jetbridge. There were no lines painted at the spot we were trying to park. Lack of enough ground personnel (ie, wing walkers) was also a contributing factor. From the cockpit it appeared as if we had enough room to clear the jetbridge. Approximately outer last ft of wing was damaged. No injuries.
