The landfill site at Milton near Cambridge, where police have spent about 20 weeks searching for Corrie Mckeague, is to be left in its "current state" and not be used for any more rubbish until a review into the investigation has been completed.
Police say they "acknowledge and understand the frustration that Corrie’s family, friends and many supporters feel" in relation to their decision last week to call a halt to the search.
A spokesman added: "The search for Corrie remains a live and active investigation as we all remain committed to finding him.
"Our work to locate Corrie remains ongoing.
"This will include work to search preserved waste that was incinerated to see if this will establish if there are any further clues as to what happened to Corrie.
"This incinerated waste will be subject to examination and where necessary forensic analysis in the coming weeks."
