Is the terminology "First Class" (etc.) an official Japanese government wording, or can we rename these "Class 1" (etc.)?

The official terminology is dai I shu, dai II shu and dai III shu (第一種、第二種、第三種 lit. the first kind, the second kind and the third kind). The post-war Japanese beaureaucrats are trained to avoid offence.

However, current wording First Class, etc. suggesting hierarchy is less confusing. Usually First Class airports are the busier. I feel this wording should be kept.
