Det Supt Katie Elliott said the landfill search for Mr Mckeague had been "systematic, comprehensive and thorough".
She said: "Corrie had been known to go to sleep in rubbish on a night out.
"There is no evidence to support any other explanation at this time."

In June, Mr Mckeague's girlfriend April Oliver, from Norfolk, gave birth to their daughter.
'Genuine mistake'
The police investigation had established early on that Mr Mckeague's mobile phone tracked the same route, and at the same pace, as a bin lorry on the night of his disappearance.
But initial inquiries found the rubbish truck was carrying a load of 11kg (1st 10lb), suggesting Mr Mckeague was not on the refuse truck.
Then in March it emerged the true weight of the truck contents was more than 100kg (15st 10lb).
The error was a "genuine mistake", Suffolk Police said.
Ms Urquhart said the initial assurance from police that he was not in the bin lorry had been "the one thing that was giving me hope that he was still alive".
In a Facebook post on Thursday, Ms Urquhart said: "I understand that Corrie may never be found.
"I am realistic and we will find a way to deal with that scenario but it would have to be knowing that a sound investigation had been carried out and there are no other lines of enquiry that could be followed."
